Trax Surgical Receives FDA 510(K) Clearance For Nitinol Staple System

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Compression bone staples have a key intraoperative advantage in that they are technically easier and faster to apply as fewer steps are required. This is an important option for surgeons to have when assessing the needs of their patients. Trax Surgical's nitinol staple with inherent compressive properties creates a stable environment that promotes bone healing. "We are incredibly excited about this advancement," said Shane Shankle, President of Trax Surgical. "The approval of our Nitinol Compression Staple enables us to better serve our customers and elevate the standard of care in extremity orthopedics. It reflects our dedication to innovation, quality, and the needs of both surgeons and patients."

The LINKT Compression Staple System is an improvement over some outdated designs that lack the ability to adjust the staple prior to implantation. The LINKT System features an adjustable inserter that allows the surgeon to open and close the staple's legs for easy insertion. Multiple staples can be deployed with an appropriately sized inserter, which is also used to properly seat the implant, or to remove and reposition it.

The company's nitinol staples have a slightly curved bridge designed to provide more even compression across the fusion site and feature toothed legs for secure fixation. LINKT Staples are available in multiple bridge widths and leg lengths. The LINKT system is comprised of staples sold individually in sterile packaging, and sterile deployment kits comprised of a drill, drill guide, locating pins, and inserter.
